S06E10 Can Prayer Really Change Anything? with Peter Warren

Modern Day Missionaries

Do you ever wonder if your prayers are really making a difference? Or feel frustrated when you don’t see results? If you pray and something doesn’t happen, was it worth it or a waste of time? Does God already have planned out what he’s going to do anyway?

In this episode, we talk with missionary Peter Warren, a leader in YWAM, who brings a fresh take on how prayer works and why it matters. We dive into what it means to co-create with God through prayer, if prayer can actually change things, and what role persistence plays. If you've ever struggled with prayer or questioned its impact, this conversation will encourage you and give you a whole new perspective!
✍️ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How we can partner with God through prayer to impact real outcomes
• Why some prayers take time and how persistence plays a key role
• How to align our prayers with God’s will and desires
• What it looks like to persist in prayer, even when we feel discouraged
• What it means to co-create with God

💡Questions to Ponder as You Listen:

• Do I really believe my prayers can change things, or do I feel like I’m wasting time?
• How do I approach prayer—am I expecting God to respond, or just checking a box?
• Am I praying for what God wants, or am I trying to steer things my own way?
• What does it look like for me to partner with God through prayer?
• How can I keep praying when it feels like nothing’s happening?
